When You Sneeze
Who will bless you when you sneeze?
Who will put your heart at ease?
Who will melt you when you freeze?
Who will give a tender squeeze?
Who will bring you to your knees?
Who will sail you on the seas?
Who will be there when you please?
Who will grow the garden peas?
Who will waft an April breeze?
Who will stop a band of thieves?
Who will catch the Autumn leaves?
Who will save you from the sleaze?
Who will name you on marquees?
Who will heal your worst disease?
Who will show you shelter lees?
Who will raise your fleur-de-lys?
Who will trim your cheery trees?
Who will grant each one of these?
I will. I will.
